Maryam Yousaf

Mr Blue in Rainbow Planet Maryam Yousaf

Mr Blue is a caring citizen of Rainbow Planet. He is a hero to his community, until one day another Blue does something really bad. Then all of a sudden Mr Blue and the Blue-kind are demonised. Most media attempt to divide people and paint a certain group with the same brush. The story illustrates that one bad Blue does not represent one million good Blues. This is a book with a positive message about a unified community. A story of hope and truth, reflecting the times we are currently living in. Written by Maryam Yousaf after her daughter came home from school one day, upset for being called a terrorist as she was non-white and Muslim. She was also told that she would get shot. Maryam instantly realised that the only way to combat bigotry and hatred is through education. So on that very day she sat and penned down the story you now have before you.
